a picture's worth 1000 words

my dad is a very talented photographer.  as a new element of lifestyle maven, i will be featuring some of his photography each month : )  his pictures are really awesome, and he's finally starting to get the true recognition he deserves.  so enjoy.  feel free take/borrow/use/share, just please provide a link back if you do.

here are some lovely winter images in honor of all the snow we "enjoyed" this winter.

 
so, if a picture is truly worth 1000 words...what would you say about these?

loving lifestyle maven? 

check out the other fabulousness in store this month {here}.

looking forward



rittenhouse square

i just love this time of year.  (i know i've said that before, but i just can't help myself!)  i love the fall, and i love the holidays.  but this year, even more than other years, i feel like there is so much stuff to look forward to!  here's the stuff i'm thinking about this week : )

this upcoming weekend craig and i are heading into philly to have our engagement photo shoot with our photographers.  we're meeting them in rittenhouse square and going to wander the city as they snap shots of us.  so fun!  (i'll definitely share the picts when we get them!)

after picts, we're meeting up with craig's parents to show them xix (where we're having the reception), because they haven't seen it yet.  then, we are going to check out some rehearsal dinner restaurant options. 

craig and i are ending the day with a date night at our fave restaurant in the city, tinto.  it's a basque (spanish/french) restaurant, and they have awesome tapas.  we love getting the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing.  it's glorious : )

 oh, and to make it even better, saturday is supposed to be gorgeous weather-wise (yay!).  sixties and sunny.  i can't wait!

say cheese! (a.k.a. meeting the wedding photographers)



m2 photography

so, last night craig and i met with our (potential) wedding photographer.  the meeting went really well.  they're a husband and wife team, and they always shoot together.  their style is awesome.  candid.  real.  spontaneous.  artful.  beautiful.

craig and i both agree that we want photographers who capture the feel of the day.  not just the faces.  we're all about "action" shots of crazy dancing, hearty laughter and happy tears.  and m2 photography fits that to a "t".

like what you see?  you should totally check out their website & blog.  they're awesome. 

p.s. as you can see, none of the picts are of craig & me (yet).  but i'll be sure to post our engagement session (planned for this november) and wedding picts (you'll have to wait til november 2011 for those) for all to see...you'll just have to be patient...
